A new comedy podcast from non edgy comedians Graham Kay and Robby Slowik. RATE & REVIEW! Each week they sit down with a guest (mainly stand up comics) to try and figure out how to become edgy. The goal being to one day achieve Edge Lord status. SUBSCRIBE!...sorry for shouting.
Graham Kay and Kirk Smith are two comedians living in Los Angeles. Kirk has a teenaged son with Autism and Graham has an autistic adult brother. Together they talk about the lighter side of living with and coping with autism.
Shane single handedly made us not hate Guy Fieri anymore through his viral stand up set on Conan. He also is maybe our edgiest guest yet. Wait until you hear about how he carried his school bag.
Author and Autism mom Amy Lutz is interviewed by roving reporter Jill Escher. Also, Graham tells a story about Peter sending out lonely e-mails.
